limbs/digits/tail
polydactyly
(
J:82633
)
• affected animals have a 6th digit in postaxial region of both forelimbs, branching from and fused with the 5th digit
• the forelimb is abnormal in all mutant animals but abmormalities in the hindlimb are rare

syndactyly
(

)
• affected animals have a 6th digit in postaxial region of both forelimbs, branching from and fused with the 5th digit
• the forelimb is abnormal in all mutant animals but abnormalities in the hindlimb are rare
• skeletal preps reveal that only soft tissues are fused in most animals
